You can use any engine, including one you made yourself.

Your game must be free to play until the voting period is over.

Games that are discriminatory, contain hate-speech, or are in very poor taste will be removed.

In the voting period, please give feedback with any rating you give!

You must have a good time doing the jam! :)
